When requested by Nellis Tower, what must the lead vehicle ensure?

• A. All vehicles stay within 200 ft of the lead vehicle
• B. The party remains within 50 ft of the tower
• C. The vehicles are positioned so traffic can pass safely
• D. All vehicles are outside of 100 ft when requested by Nellis Tower

Answer: (D)

Coordinating with Nellis Tower requires the lead vehicle to create a clear buffer for the group. When the tower requests it, the lead vehicle must position all vehicles so that they are at least 100 feet away from the tower area. This distance keeps the tower’s operations visible and unobstructed and provides safe taxiing space for aircraft and ground vehicles. It also prevents crowding near the tower, which could interfere with signal visibility or runway movements. The other options either move vehicles too close to the tower, keep them too close to the lead vehicle, or focus only on traffic flow without honoring the tower’s required 100-foot separation.
